Issue with PDF Export – Text and Shapes Rendered as Raster Instead of Vector

I am writing to report a persistent issue I’ve encountered when exporting files from Adobe Photoshop to PDF. Normally, when I export a Photoshop file that contains vector text and shape layers, the exported PDF preserves those elements as vector graphics, which scale without pixelation when zoomed in.

However, in a recent project, despite ensuring that:
- The text layers are editable and not rasterized
- Shape layers are not flattened
- No Smart Objects or Layer Styles were applied
- The file resolution is 300 ppi
- I used the “Save As > Photoshop PDF” method with “High Quality Print” preset

…the resulting PDF renders all elements as rasterized images. When I zoom in on the text, it appears pixelated, as if flattened.

This behavior is inconsistent with previous exports using similar settings. I have tested this on:
- Photoshop Version: [Insert version, e.g., Photoshop 25.1]
- OS: [Insert your system, e.g., Windows 11 / macOS Ventura]
- File Type: PSD with editable text and shapes

I would appreciate your help in identifying whether this is a known bug or if there’s an updated recommended workflow for maintaining true vector output in PDFs from Photoshop.

Thank you for your support.
